Pocono Mountain Regional Police found marijuana after they went to a Coolbaugh Township home to arrest a man wanted for failing to appear at trial.

Police said the wanted man, Keith Wilson, 20, initially used another name when officers arrived at his Iroquois Street home. Police said they found more than $1,500 in U.S. currency, multiple bulk packages of high-grade marijuana, a digital scale and drug-packaging materials in the home.

Having been wanted for not appearing at trial in a prior drug case, Wilson is charged with drug possession with intent to deliver, identity theft, fleeing to avoid arrest and possessing instruments of a crime.

He was placed in Monroe County Correctional Facility in lieu of $50,000 bail and will appear in district court at a future date.
